Believe it or not, Benjamin is enjoying his first swimming lessons at the YMCA. We started the "Mommy, Daddy, & Me" swim class (for children 6 months to 24 months old) this past Tuesday. Class is on Tuesday and Thursday evenings for 4 weeks. We've been observing that Benjamin loves being in the water when he takes a bath, so Christian and I thought why not try the class. Most of the class is Christian and me interacting with Benjamin in the water. The goal is to try and get Benjamin to be as relaxed and comfortable in the water as possible. The final 10 minutes or so is spent singing songs and doing group activities in the water.
As you might have guessed, Benjamin is really enjoying the class (even with his cold). He even splashed Daddy with his hands a few times and blew a couple of bubbles in the water last night. Not bad for a 7-and-a-half month old at his second swimming class! Christian and I are really enjoying spending time together as a family. Unfortunately, that doesn't happen as often as we'd like these days.
We don't have any pictures yet, but there's still 3 weeks of class left. We'll work on that for everyone. We'll keep you posted and God's blessings on your day!
